Letter: Sliced and wrapped
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Your Top 10 Breads chart (Going Out, 2 March) provided an interesting insight into the breads favoured by the consumers of London's Muswell Hill. However, if it was meant to indicate wider preference, it fell short of the mark.
By far the most popular type of bread in the UK - and, I suspect London as a whole - is the white sliced and wrapped loaf, with wholemeal sliced and wrapped in second place and brown sliced and wrapped in third place. Other breads, including white and brown unsliced, account for around 16 per cent of the total bread market, with speciality breads, such as Turkish sun and ciabatta, accounting for around only 1 per cent of the total UK bread market.
